The Alabama Neuroscience Blueprint Core Center began operations in September 2006 as an NIH supported (NS57098) facility to promote investigations of nervous system function and dysfunction.  The Center contains a series of interrelated research cores focused on genetically modified rodents and other small laboratory animals.  The Center supports the research activities of NIH funded neuroscience investigators at UAB and participating institutions in Alabama and neighboring states.  Services are also provided to non-NIH funded investigators on a more limited basis depending on individual core capacities.  Information on core services and availability can be obtained by contacting the individual cores directly.
